This is Baltimore my friend. In 2000 no one gave a shit about this place until all the yuppies started buying up run down rowhouses which now go for half a mil. Mine sky rocketed beyond that level which means I would not be able to afford my own house right now. Let's not get into property tax issues

Anyway here is a small project for this weekend: Remove the paint from these banisters

I'll second that. I went through some beautiful but wrecked homes in the Druid Hill area that could be had for a song in the 90's. St. Paul Street, also. Too big for my small investor purposes, though. VA foreclosures in the surrounding counties were more my ticket. I did do one rowhouse over by Camden Yards, just across MLK. It was an education I'll always remember.

"Baltimore, the city of positive cash flow!"

There still some opportunities but they are thining in numbers and margin that can be had.
